“This is what it took for them to realize what they needed to do," said one parent. "Sometimes, police officers are in their cars, sitting down looking at the kids cross."

“It's sad what happened, but one of these days I knew it was going to happen. And that's the sad part about the whole thing,” said neighbor John Roberts.

Torres, a senior at MacArthur, lived across from the school. His mother was one of the first people on the scene.

“All she knows is that it's him, and he's not here now, and she is yearning for him. She's looking for him and she's calling him, and he's not there,” said Ibarra.

The oldest of four children, Torres was a promising student set to graduate in May. He had dreams of being a soccer star - dreams shattered much too soon.

“I'm going to hold him I'm gonna hold them in here forever, and I'm never gonna let them go I'm going to live for him. I'm going to live for him,” said the victim’s cousin.

As far as charges are concerned against the driver, that’s up to a grand jury, deputies said.
